OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is sad, but it’s nice to see that progress is being made. In this video report, CNN’s Emily Chang goes to a dog and cat meat market in Guanghzhou, China.

So remember earlier today when I wrote about GOProud’s Executive Jimmy LaSalvia at CPAC? Trying to make nice with the NOM people just two booths away? And remember how LaSalvia came across as practically begging to be liked by NOM? (“Simpering” was the word I used entirely because it was so appropriate.) Well, after LaSalvia and the NOM guy parted ways (not sure who it was) with promises to bond over a beer summit (that’ll really get Obama!), the NOM guy went straight to his computer and sent out a diss of a NOM statement. To GOProud! Many reporters, including ...

I can’t think of anything that would be worse. Feeling so helpless that you give your own children away. From CNN.com: In the devastating January 12 earthquake, he lost the meager home he had sitting on a hillside in Calebasse. “I can’t stand that they were suffering here,” Laurentus said. “I had confidence in the Americans. I trusted them.” So Thursday night, when Silsby came with a bus, he placed his girls, Soraya, 4, and Leila, 5, on two seats towards the front. He didn’t pack any of their things, he said. Not even their teddy bear. The American woman had bags filled ...

Obama has called for a repeal time and time again. What is needed is action, not more rhetoric.As Richard Socarides put it in an article today in Politico: “His time is running out. We are not waiting for a second term. It must include an immediate moratorium on the witch hunts and expulsions." ...

Altruism is dead in the media, ever since the Vietnam war, which is why I have to laugh when reporters and talking heads try to make it out that they are acting purely out of “human compassion.” First, eyebrows were raised when both the Seven and Nine Networks were shown to “save” a baby trapped in the rubble. Now, CNN’s star doctor is off performing neurosurgery on a young girl injured in the earthquake, managing to squeeze the surgery in between his reporting duties. Listen, while it is excellent that help was given, I find that ...
